Church Planter of the Month

Jose Luis Mairena felt the call to plant a new church in his hometown of Sebaco. This was a huge step of faith for him as a single guy without a sponsoring church backing him. The Lord provided a core group of Christians to start the church and has blessed along the way, providing what was needed at just the right time.

They have been able to purchase a small piece of land and have a structure of their own. The name of the church shows its focus. Iglesia Bautista Tu Palabra - Your Word Baptist Church. They are deeply committed to teaching God's Word and take seriously the study of God's Word.Please pray for Pastor Jose Luis as he leads this group and for God's provision as they grow and extend their building to hold more people.

Prayer Requests:

Please pray for Bruce as he is working today through Wednesday with Pastor Jose Luis and a team from Maranatha Christian Academy from Canada (pictured at left). The team is doing children's programs and evening evangelistic events to help promote the church and the name of Christ in that community.

Please pray for Peter as he travels back from Costa Rica on Wednesday. He had is best year yet at HACIA Democracy. We are grateful for many who gave so that he could participate again this year.
